In a telephone interview, Calk said the headquarters move to Chicago was merely for administrative convenience because that is where the team was spending most of its time. The company also built a national home loan center in Chicago, which is now its largest operation.

"I can assure you we have no intentions whatsoever of leaving Kansas at this point," Calk said. "This is simply a move of the headquarters administration team. Frankly, it's just a business decision and has nothing to do with our obvious tremendous success in Kansas or the success of our company as a whole. We continue to perform extremely well and view Overland Park and Kansas in general as a very important strategic place and a place where we plan to continue to grow our business."

Calk also said the 100 jobs headed to Chicago aren't coming from Overland Park, but are new jobs being created from growth. The Federal Savings Bank just signed two big deals, one with the largest real estate company in New York and another with the largest custom home builder in America.

But job growth isn't just happening in Chicago. Calk said The Federal Savings Bank is hiring in the Kansas City area right now, looking for sales managers, branch managers and loan officers. The plan is to establish more branches and loan production offices in the area.

"We're bringing more jobs to Chicago, just like we're doing in Kansas, just like we're doing in New York and just like we're doing in California," Calk said. "We continue to grow aggressively across the board."
